You didn't stop anything. The only thing that has happened is they legislators have put it on hold for the dust to settle and once everybody is looking somewhere else they will bring it out and sign it again in a blizkriegian move and will be done with it before you have time to wipe your drool.
It's a thinly veiled excuse. Just like the misconception that free distribution of independent literature would: 1) turn the peasants into hedonists (Confucianism - moveable type press) 2) put "the beast" into people (Catholic church - Gutenberg printing press)
Well, the governments were "right" back then so they must be "right" now aswell.
not to mention that you would have to print a custom case to house the new interfaces... GD are apparently trying to be as open as they can but I think they should try a bit more to enable their potential buyers by offering solutions for custom cases or general help on how to get it done efficiently and end up with high quality hw. Maybe they should partner up with some high quality touchscreen, display and battery manufacturers and suggest solutions for generating your own high quality custom components (buttons, cases) with multiple materials (plastics, metals, wood?).
I know some people who can afford it and would definitely go for a self tailored phone if they could make it happen with one or two couple k€.
Well, it is obvious that education at the moment is going through a very creative phase, a lot of attention is being directed to the distributed model the KHAN academy made popular; I'm very curious to see how the rise of distributed learning will change the world of knowledge and accreditation. Could be that the 3k year old paradigm of the classroom will be obsolete (or dramatically changed) by the end of the decade.
ohh.. There is already software for that, don't worry. After all facebook doesn't need you to tag yourself, they have already identified you and just wait for your confirmation.
In the summer I can remember Facebook identifying me in some photos nobody had ever touched. Last month they wanted to verify some locations in Europe I've been photographed in Next month they are going to be asking me where I was at the time of the murder of a member of parliament.
Joke aside feature recognition algos have become unbelievably efficient for location estimation and face recognition, I'm not sure if Facebook's questions are just deductive logic from the info your peers provide or if they actually try to produce data from the images but the later is equally doable.
Then just run your own private cloud on media temple or aws or rackspace and sshfs data through your own VPN. It'll cost a bit but it's way better than having to rely on idiotic 3rd party system applications/services to access your cloud data, plus you can set up your own file servers to hold automated backups
IP Trolling can't be "dealt with", like every politician does; you have to annihilate it and then salt the soil in order to optimistically dampen it's impact. The only true solution is the one of self mutilation. The global community has to reorient to a new set of rules for attribution of intellectual work in order to end this self impeding plutocratic movement.
The thing is, you have to be able to make a good point with your proposition in order for a web standard to be expanded to your liking. Sure running compiled binaries in a browser would work wonders as far as performance goes. The problems I see with this are not performance or availablility. The www is created with openness in mind. that is one of the reasons an interpreted language was used for the client side programming. Running plugins and compiled code clientside is a philosophical nono as far as the w3c is concerned and they have their points. still the need for alternatives is apparent. the ewb grows in importance daily and if it remains js exclusive computing in general will end up a monoculture (as far as the web frontend is concerned).
Still the answer is not complaining but hacking. Dont sit just around bitching how awful js is. Get your hands dirty and provide an implementation of firefox that has a cobol/haskell/scheme dom interface, create cool apps that work only on it and when it gets traction it will become standardized.
Given a DOM binding and a function for generating asynchronous HTTP requests
yes...
The proposition was not meant to be an analytical hypothesis. I understand what you mean from that point on but (if I understand correctly) that would need you to also distribute a browser or browser plugin or executable to actually make available the site to an end user.
Truly valid. My point (apparently to obfuscated judging from the replies) is that when you have a problem that has as it's widely accepted solution one language you solve it with that language.
The W3C is after all a democratic organization. If there is merit in, say, chromium's naCl the W3C will make room for it in the specs (and in some years we will have widely supported native code execution "happy compiling for 2^8 archs by then"). I don't say just live with it, seriously, if there is a good reason for having another format of code execution in browsers it should and will be included but because those mechanisms take too much time compared to one project's production cycle complaining is plain pointless. Better gather your resolve and put forth a civilized reform.

What the?!??!

what is a sip job? do you mean the python tool?
OMG why didn't I think of that!?!?!?!?!
[Citation Needed]
here you go
Did not see that. LoL
Well, they might be right on the money actually.
All the banks and investment firms I know use VPNs!
why would they? It's not like they are capable of having alternatives.

and how would you propose people get accustomed to using specialized searches? yep, exactly, by searching the most advertised search application.!
IMHO: generic search is the one and only truth, there is nothing that ever will leap it because of it's accessibility.
lol
Luckily he wasn't reading Iain Banks because then we'd all die. Ohh wait, we still will... nvm.
Yes.
Yes.

Sorry, I meant www users.
Sure, now the only task you have to do is convince the 78% of Internet users to switch browser. :-)
Dear AC:
Those things are nothing like a web site.

You are missing the point. People like you are, in other circumstances, called "The guy with a hammer seeing only nails".
